Title says it all but I can't speak italian but speak english. I found them through a gigi d'agostino remix of this song. It's based on lu rusciu te lu mare an old puglese song. Any help would be great.

I done it all!!!!
Honey in the sunshine, Pugliese is not a dialect. In Puglia (the region) there are many dialects. Barese, Salernitano, Foggiano are the main 3, and from that and on in every village/town there are diversifications (mostly in the pronounciation). So as the Italians would say "E' un macello!!!!"

but ........... how can that understand those, who study italian ??? can u please tell me, how is it possible to figure out in the dialect? i mean, to understand it? people should only live there so that to understand? maybe there are some books or so?
PS/ anyway, literary language understands everyone .... why don't people speak "clear" language?

I did studied it from pretty close enough, I was in Puglia for 6 years so that is all I heard every day, wherever I went (even in the University, I had a professor that was doing the lesson from start till the end in dialect ).
There are books in Italy where you can study the dialects from, but there are also Italian sites with poems in dialects, and phrases.
They don't speak clear language, because it's their culture. That is that gives colour and inanimates the words. From the way an Italian says (and moves his hands) 'oh ce vuoi' you can understand if his angry, happy or whatever.

sure, that's right ))) esp about the way he moves his hands ) that can be sometimes so so funny !
dialect can be the part of the culture, but the literary language anyway, i think the main thing/ i know a bit of piemontese, also it's close to french, so lots of the same words/ I've really seen the dictionary "piemontese-italiano" of 1905 ! Can u please tell me, how did u begin? u came to Italy without knowing the dialect i think/ was it difficult to figure out?
Alia

Yessssssssssssssss. Try and understand the first semester Algorithms and data structures in dialect that not even all the Italians understood
From then and on I started asking all the Baresi, what does this mean what does that mean. Until I learned some
